 |
|
I've checked everything that I can think of. I'm getting a message (dmesg) saying that the dvb-ttpci cannot find the firmware file, but I know it's there. But I also notice that hda3 doesn't get mounted until after the driver requests the firmware. Could that be the problem? If so, how can I change the order of these things in the boot process?
thanks,
William |

I have exact the same problem  I solved it 30 Minutes ago by adding a localmount-dependancy to /etc/init.d/hotplug
| Code: |
depend() {
need modules localmount
}
|
I read in another forum that new (unstable) hotplug-versions will have the firmware in /lib/hotplug/firmware, so upgrading hotplug could be an alternative, although the same forum reported problems with unstable hotplug and dvb-ttpci.

I stand corrected... the hotplug-script does nothing more than checking for hotplug-support, so starting it later doesn't help...
I tried unstable hotplug, which expects firmware in /lib/firmware, and it works Just emerge unstable hotplug and move /usr/lib/hotplug/* to /lib/firmware/. But there could be problems with other hotplug-devices. my usb-mouse isn't detected automatically anymore, so I have to load the device-drivers via /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
